Common Record Layout Holly A. Hyland Modernization Partner
Vision • We all do the same thing • Currently, we have 14 separate record layouts to originate and disburse Pell and Direct Loans. • Can’t we streamline that process?
<LastName>Jones</LastName> <FirstName>Sally</FirstName> <FFELSub> <AwardAmt>2625</AwardAmt> <CostofAttend>15000</CostofAttend> </FFELSub> <LastName>Jones</LastName> <FirstName>Sally</FirstName> <Pell> <AwardAmt>3200</AwardAmt> <CostofAttend>8000</CostofAttend> </Pell> Lender/Guarantor COD School
What did we do? • Created a crosswalk that compared similarities with FFEL, Alternative loan, Pell, DL,CB, and some State Grant agencies. • Found similar elements (person, disb info)
What did we do? • Merged Pell and DL into 1 document • RFMS: • Header /Trailer • Origination Record • Origination Acknowledgement • Disbursement Record • Disbursement Acknowledgement • DL: • Header/Trailer • Full Loan Origination • Disbursement • Full Loan Origination Acknowledgement • Loan Origination Change • MPN/Plus Promissory Note Acknowledgement • PLUS Credit Decision Acknowledgement
What did we do? • FFEL/Alt loan – ensured FFEL/Alternative loan data structure could be added to the same schema • Added CB elements to allow for schools to pre-populate page 6 of the FISAP • Mindful to create a structure that allows for inclusion of others (i.e., State Grant Agencies)
What did we do? • Worked with the following standard bodies: • PESC • CommonLine • Adopted the following standards: • IFX as a base • W3C Schema layout • Draft, PESC Technical Specifications for Higher Education XML Schema Development
Document Structure • Document Structure allows you to send data for: • Multiple Schools • Multiple Years • Multiple Awards In ONE Transmission
